The adsorption of bromophenol red (BPR) onto three adsorbents including palladium, silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (Pd-NP-AC, Ag-NP-AC and ZnO-NP-AC) in a batch system has been studied and the influence of various parameters has been optimized. The influence of time on removal of BPR on all adsorbent was investigated and experimental data were analyzed by four kinetic models including pseudo first and second-order, Elovich and the intraparticle diffusion equations. Following fitting the experimental data to these models, the respective parameters of each model such as rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and correlation coefficients for each model were investigated and based on well known criterion their applicability was judged. It was seen that the adsorption of BPR onto all adsorbents sufficiently described by the pseudo second-order equation in addition to interparticle diffusion model. The adsorption of BPR on all adsorbent was investigated at various concentration of dye and the experimental equilibrium data were analyzed and fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, Dubinin, and Radushkevich equations. A single stage in batch process was efficient and suitable for all adsorbents using the Langmuir isotherm with maximum adsorption of 143 mg g−1 for Pd-NP-AC, 250 mg g−1 for Ag-NP-AC and 200 mg g−1 for ZnO-NR-AC. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° for Pd-NP-AC adsorbent were calculated
